Investigating soft failures induced by system-level ESD
… and application-level manifestations of ESD soft failures were characterized for three single-board computers. ESD events were generated following the system-level ESD standard (IEC 61000-4-2), matching real-world testing and events. Soft failures resulting from ESD were seen on all products …

Investigation of system-level ESD induced soft failures
… be made, this work will focus on the aspects of soft failures. Soft failures encompass any type of disruption to the system that, in general, can be recovered from, for example by powercycling the system. An example of a soft failure could be the erasure of data within some memory elements of an …

Detection, diagnosis and modeling of ESD-induced soft failures - a gate-level and mixed-signal approach
… and a significant portion can be attributed to soft failure induced by system-level ESD. Despite that, the ESD-induced permanent failures are well-studied and protection mechanisms have proven to work, the studies on ESD-induced soft failures are all on the physical and transistor level. In this …

Investigation of system-level ESD-induced failures
… of a system or temporary glitches in a system. Soft failures include any recoverable system malfunction, from resets to loss of stored data. They can be caused by noise entering signal pins or by supply voltage fluctuations. Soft failures have previously been studied by using test structures to …

Enhanced modeling methodology for system-level electrostatic discharge simulation
… than piece-wise models. Furthermore, ESD-induced soft failures are often caused by the noise coupled between the IC package traces. To help identify this type of failure, a hybrid electromagnetic and circuit simulation approach is demonstrated.

Fiber-Based ATM Computer Network Performance and Survivability Issues under Soft Failure Conditions
… As expected, TCP, although not immune to soft failures, performed better than UDP. A description of the investigation, tests, scripts, methods and results are included.

Models predicting the performance of IC component or PCB channel during electromagnetic interference
… be estimated, which can be use to predict when soft failures will occur and to better understand how to fix these failures. Simulation and measurement results demonstrate the accuracy of the DLL delay model."--Abstract, page iv.</p>

Failures caused by supply fluctuations during system-level ESD
… In additional to withstanding ESD without hard failures (permanent damage), it is important that the system is robust against soft failures (recoverable loss of function or data), which can be caused by ESD-induced noise on signal inputs and power nets. Besides radiation, the current injection …
